Maybe that is why I never get anything from Arizona. If you are close to state line you may want to go to another town in another state and ship. I ship to California and they have similar laws. I believe though that if you ship them as perishable edible as a food item they do not need the certific...

Qu'est-ce que c'est -- what is it?
I suggested in another forum that this might be a cristate/monstrose form of Austrocylindropuntia vestita and not a Consolea, but my suggestion was met with derision. Any idea what it might be? http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/Opuntiaaequitans-1.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums...

I'd love to share some of the Opuntia, but I checked with the Nevada Dept. of agriculture today, and if I want to send any cacti pieces through the mail, I have to have an agent come out and inspect my cacti for pests first, and presumably check to see that I don't have anything illegal. Then, I ge...

It's especially upsetting because I know both of these plants were collected from the wild in Madagascar...although clueless me didn't know that a few years ago when I bought them. It's one thing to kill a plant that has been raised in cultivation, but losing a plant that was ripped from its native ...

Clay vs. plastic? E. mahabobokensis and E. hedyotoides are both Madagascan species, with approximately the same cultural conditions. I couldn't figure out why E. mahabobokensis (left) wouldn't grow over the summer, whereas E. hedyotoides (right) grew fine: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/sp...

Hijacking Tony's thread even more. Melt, E. stellispina, E. horrida and relatives are peduncular-spined species, and their spine growth depends mostly on where they are in their annual growth cycle. Increased spine growth after moving it into sun may just be a coincidence. Lack of spines doesn't mea...

Annoying, isn't it? It wants to grow at the wrong time of the year! Tony, I hope you don't mine a slight thread hijack. This is mine, which I think has produced a schizophrenic offset. The offset doesn't produce many spines, but the few that it does are huge (~ 2cm). http://i266.photobucket.com/albu...

You may (or may not) be interested to know that the red flower like structure are actually not flowers, but rather bracts beneath the flower. the actual flower is the small round organ in teh middle. You may be even less interested to know that the small round organ isn't the flower....it's what th...
